Our new video player

There’s more video than ever on pennlive.com, and our new video player makes it easier to locate, discover and enjoy that video content.

Below is a quick guide to the new player showing you the new features offered for viewing pennlive.com’s videos.

Finding Video

When a video is available within an article, you will be able to easily recognize that video through the superimposed play button over the image. Information about the video, such as the video title and description, appears just below this image.

Selecting and Viewing A Video

When you select a video to view, you will automatically launch the video player window that will provide a number of viewing controls and experiences. Your video will automatically begin playing when the viewing window opens.

There are several ways you can control the video once it begins playing.

Video controls on the video player include:

• Play and Pause – click this to toggle back and forth between playing or pausing the video

• Fast Forward/Replay – point and hold down the left button on the mouse to move the video ahead or back

• Sharing tools – provides a variety of ways that you can share a video with others: email a link, share it on Facebook or Twitter, copy the link to paste into email or a text message, or get the code to embed on your blog or website.

• Volume and mute – opens volume controls that allow you to control the volume, or click to mute

• Full-screen view –view the video expanded to your full monitor screen. Press the ESC button to return to the video player.

To return to the page you were viewing, just click on the red circle with the “X” labeled “Close this window.”

Watching additional videos

There are several ways that you can continue to view videos in the video player when you are done with your first video. The videos that appear in the current playlist come from the category that matches the video you have just watched. You can either let these videos play one after the other, or click on a particular video you would like to watch. You can also scroll down to see more videos in the category playlist.

If you would like to watch video from another category playlist, you can click ”Select a playlist” to make a new selection.
